Tasty Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Section: Morning Favorites

Start your morning right with these protein-loaded biscuits that blend eggs and Greek yogurt with filling add-ins. Pick the classic ham and cheese or go for sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and herbs for a Mediterranean vibe. Making the dough is quick and easy, and baking gives you warming, fluffy biscuits topped with melted cheese or feta. They’re perfect for brunch or breakfast to keep you full. If you're skipping meat, just load up on more sun-dried tomatoes and feta. Make sure the spinach is drained well and add fresh basil once the biscuits come out of the oven to keep flavors fresh and the biscuits from getting soggy.

The sun-dried tomatoes in the Mediterranean mix are my top pick. They add a bold flavor that always reminds me of summers spent cooking with family. Every time I pull these from the oven, they warm the whole kitchen.

Frequently Asked Cooking Questions

→ Can these biscuits be made vegetarian?

Absolutely, just leave out the ham and sausage and add extra sun-dried tomatoes and feta for a tasty meat-free version.

→ How do I stop the biscuits from getting soggy?

Make sure you really squeeze the spinach dry after wilting it before mixing it into the dough to keep moisture down.

→ When’s the best time to add fresh herbs?

Wait until after baking to toss on fresh basil. This keeps it bright and fresh instead of wilting in the oven.

→ Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can mix the dough and chill it briefly. Just bring it back to room temperature before baking for best results.

→ What kind of pan can I bake these in?

You can use a lined baking sheet or a greased muffin tin to bake the biscuits so they hold their shape well.

→ Are there other cheeses I can use?

Cheddar and feta work great here, but feel free to try other melt-friendly cheeses to mix things up.

Detailed Cooking Steps

Step 01

Let the biscuits sit for 10 minutes or more so they firm up and taste better before you eat or store them.

Step 02

Sprinkle cheddar or feta on top of each biscuit. Bake at 190°C for around 25 minutes till the tops are golden and feel firm.

Step 03

Scoop the dough out using a ¾ cup (80 ml) measure. Place them evenly on your pan or in muffin cups so they bake right.

Step 04

Fold in your chosen goodies now. For ham and cheese, toss in diced ham and cheddar. For a Mediterranean twist, add spinach, chives, sun-dried tomatoes, chicken sausage, and feta.

Step 05

Gently stir in the flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix until just blended. Don’t overdo it.

Step 06

In a big bowl, beat together the Greek yogurt and eggs till completely smooth with no lumps.

Step 07

Turn the oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment or grease a muffin tin so nothing sticks.

Helpful Hints

  1. Skip the ham and sausage for a veggie version. Add more sun-dried tomatoes and feta to make up for it.
  2. Put fresh basil on after baking to keep its fresh smell.
  3. Make sure you squeeze the spinach well so it doesn’t make the dough wet and soggy.
  4. Using eggs at room temperature helps the batter mix better and smoother.
